Chelsea Football Club youngster Jordan Houghton is set for a return to Doncaster Rovers.
The 21-year-old Chelsea midfielder had been on loan at the Keepmoat just last season, he was a key player for Darren Ferguson’s team before he picked up an unfortunate cruciate knee ligament injury back in February.
He is due to play for the Blues Under-23s on Friday night, and Rovers hope to bring Houghton back there before the transfer window closes.
“It’s looking good. I think it’s just a case of paperwork to be done and that’s it, we’ll get him on loan,” said Ferguson.
“It’ll be until January but only because we need to see how he comes through the injury thing.
“He’ll be back with us after he’s played four or five games for Chelsea’s under-23s.
“I think the big thing for Jordan, Chelsea and ourselves is that he wants to come back so much.
“That’s a big tick in the box for us as a football club and Chelsea are delighted he’s coming back here.
“They need him to get games, competitive games, and we feel that he can add to the squad we’ve already got. So we’re delighted, we just need to get the paperwork done.”
